Supplier Hub
Our vendors, big or small, local or global, are crucial to our mission of delivering the best and freshest products. Supplier Hub ensures each vendor is worthy of our customer’s trust.
What is Supplier Hub?
Supplier Hub is our vendor management system, and the first step to partnering with us. Each organization we collaborate with creates and maintains their Supplier Hub profile. This profile includes:
- Types of products provided
- Tax and payment information
- Facility details
- Contact information
We collect this data to ensure that we know who our vendors are, that they are assessed for compliance and that every vendor we work with is worthy of our customers’ trust.
Set Up Your Supplier Hub Profile

Get Started in Supplier Hub
Before filling out your profile, we recommend gathering your required documents and certifications.
First, you will need your DUNS (Dun and Bradstreet) Number. Kroger uses this as your organization’s primary identifier, and will automatically populate your organization’s information from the Dun & Bradstreet database. If you don’t know your organization’s DUNS, you can look it up in Supplier Hub with the name and address..
If your organization doesn’t have a DUNS number, you can apply for free on the Dun & Bradstreet website.
Next, you will need:
- Your organization’s W8 or W9
- A certificate of insurance. Insurance requirements will vary by the type of product or service your organization provides. See below for specific requirements.
- If applicable, diversity certification(s)
Other required documents and information will be based on the type of product or service you provide.
